Here is a tutorial on getting the Egit plugin to work with Flash Builder [1]

Yes, you can.

No. You can just start editing any file and the plugin is smart enough to
figure things out.

See [1]

In Flash Builder or Eclipse:

"incoming", "outgoing" and "conflicts" (Very similar to the Perforce
Eclipse plugin)

When I started with Git, this is exactly what I thought. But of late, I
have started loving Git Bash (the command line environment for Git) But,
for almost every feature, the EGit plugin for Eclipse/Flash Builder has
proven to be sufficient.

Please see [1] and [2]. It has instructions on setting up Git with Flash
Builder and on how to get github projects into FB directly.
